This week I photographed Arch Enemy at the Tramshed.
Tramshed is a fairly new venue in Cardiff run by MJR group who also run The Globe in Cardiff and the Marble Factory in Bristol among others.
There's a few gigs coming up there that I'd like to photograph so having photographed Arch Enemy in December at Wembley Arena supporting Nightwish, I thought this would be a good time to make contact with the venue and try to get photograph access for this gig. It was all a bit last minute as I didn't sent my request in till the day before the gig and then got confirmation at about 11am on the morning of the gig.
I was impressed with the venue nice big stage, all standing with a low balcony above the bar. The stage seemed pretty big easily fitting 3 bands kit on while still leaving space for the bands.
Here's a few photos of Arch Enemy:
